What we know

Developing

Disputed

Credible evidence conflicts. The Truism shows both positions and does not decide between them where evidence cannot.

What we don't know

Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.

  • What protective mechanisms will be implemented if local foundational supports fail to deploy on time.
  • The minister’s exact words and the question to which the minister was responding
  • Whether the government has formal criteria for delaying exits when alternative supports are unavailable
  • The transition timetable and which participants or support categories it covers
